The fourteen volumes of Elbert Hubbard's masterpiece, Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great, are like a rich walled city, of spires, cathedrals, palaces and art galleries, with winding streets and fragrant courtyards full of vivid personalities...." - Foreword from Guide Book for Little Journeys To The Homes Of The Great
